If I come across something similar cheap I'll let you know. Let me know how your fridge does once you fix door. Good luck at next Competition and the following.
Me and my brother are building a Backwoods clone. We got a Liberty we Compete with love it a real Backwoods is garbage. Their cheaper to build. I know of a Rebel a guy was thinking about selling. You looking for a hog cooker or Ribs and Pork Brisket type of cooker?
I'm so glad you figured it out I have staying up at night thinking about it. I knew it was getting air just didn't know where. Do you cook Comps in Louisiana region Alabama or Mississippi? Let me know if that fixes it. I got a line on a fridge you still need one?
Sounds good. I think it should do better with the Guru's. I think that it's just hard to get up to temps. Let me know what she does. I'm getting ready myself for a Competition coming up.
I think with it topping out at 300, you can control temps with Guru. I've been thinking about the way the temp swing were when the firebox was not sealed ,do you think it was causing a draft making the coals burn hotter? If you can get temps to 275 to 250 with Guru it will be a good Brisket cooker.
Sounds good. In our Liberty pit we put a coffee can in one corner of firebox start coals then pull coffee can out and let it start that way. Let the coals work there way towards back. Seal it good and see what she does without Guru's. When's your next Competition?
Have you got your Guru's back yet? I know it's supposed to cook at 250. Try your Guru's before you make any other changes. If still problems,the only other change I would make is to go up one size ball valve. Go from 1 1/2 to 2 inch if necessary. Let me know what happens with Guru's.
